Rick looked frustrated but he nodded his head, and went back to the observing children. After that, everyone took turns fighting the slime, and received Wogan’s guidance. After that, Wogan divided the area and had them all battle with the slimes simultaneously.
During that time I took charge of healing with my healing magic. While Wogan-san patrolled and taught the children individually.
When it was almost dusk, the training ended.
After we sent the children off, Wogan-san and I were finally able to rest.
“Good work today.” [Ryouma]
“Yeah, you too. Thanks for your help.” [Wogan]
“Same here, actually. I took the day off, but I didn’t really know what to do, so this turn of events was quite convenient. Also, regarding that matter… I’ll leave it to you.” [Ryouma]
“Information about the magical beast, right? No problem, leave it to me.” [Wogan]
As compensation for my participation in today’s training, I will be receiving information on various magical beasts in the future. I want to gather as much information as I can on the magical beasts in The Great Forest of Shurus before going. And also, although I’ve already become D Rank I want to become C Rank first before going, since that way I’ll have an easier time entering the forest.
“It’s payment for your service today, so I can have it ready by tomorrow. The information will depend on the subjugation request’s contents though. Still… don’t push yourself, ok? …Though since it’s you, I think you’ll do just fine and come back safely, but still… you shouldn’t let your guard down. Also, if you don’t mind, come help me train the kids again. Your slimes make for really good training partners after all. Accepting the training missions for new guild recruits from the adventurer guild’s also fine.” [Wogan]
“I’ll have to refrain. I’m bad at holding back.” [Ryouma]
“That so?” [Wogan]
“Yes. When I started training the slimes at first I ended up killing quite a few of them too.” [Ryouma]
“… Oi, isn’t that because you were fighting with slimes?” [Wogan]
“Eh?” [Ryouma]
“Slimes can be defeated even by kids as long as they have a weapon you know? If you can hold back enough not to kill that, then that’s more than enough for a human. Or rather, if you hold back that much, then it won’t be training. Besides, haven’t you been capturing the people attacking you all this time?” [Wogan]
“…” [Ryouma]
Now that he mentions it!
“You realized it just now!?” [Wogan]
“Yes.” [Ryouma]
Looks like, after training with the slimes, I’ve actually ended up being able to hold back without realizing it. I wonder why I haven’t noticed it until now? … Maybe it’s because I’ve hurt others before?
While we were talking, the nun brought us some drinks us thanks. And I gratefully accepted it. By the way, the woman who made my status board’s apparently named Riera. And the young girl’s named Bel apparently. Also this church’s apparently being managed by only these two.
When I asked her if they didn’t lack manpower, she said although it’s not easy, she’s being helped out by the orphans and the people in the town so there’s no problem.
Moreover, she also asked me some questions. They wanted to raise some slimes in the church, so she wanted to know whether learning slave magic’s difficult or not. Whether it’s hard to raise slimes or not. And a bunch of other questions relating to slimes. I started off by answering her questions one at a time, until I finally couldn’t take it and just asked outright, “Why do you want to raise slimes?”
“Because after today, I’ve come to realize just how cute slimes are.” [Bell]
“And if I can safely secure them by slave magic, then it’ll also be good as education for the kids.” [Riera]
Is that alright!? To use slimes as education… back in my previous world the most we had were rabbits. Or rather, this world actually had the custom of using animals as a form of education? For the meantime, it’s not like she’s already decided, and they just mentioned that they might do so later.
While we were talking it became dark. Now, I should go back and have supper at home. Drink some, and then sleep. Then tomorrow, I’ll do my best again.
